The stunning fountain, features four Bernini inspired colossal figure, each representing the rivers Nile, Ganges, Danube and Rio della Plata. . The Piazza Navona as seen today was laid out in the 17th century; however it occupies the site of the 86 AD Circus of Domitian, a former stadium used for games and sporting events that had the capacity to seat 35000 people. Today the Square is one of Rome's liveliest, with many outdoor cafes, restaurants to relax at and people watch.
